Favorite Foods Can Help Your Heart

According to the FDA, clinical studies indicate that, when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, plant sterols can help reduce the absorption of cholesterol, which in turn can lower LDL cholesterol. And while 58 percent of Americans stated in a recent survey they believe corn oil is bad for you, corn oil is actually the cooking oil with the highest amount of plant sterols per serving.
Incorporating corn oil whenever you use cooking oil, as well as consuming other foods containing plant sterols - such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals and legumes - can contribute to a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, which can have an important effect on health.
